k i typed some shit up for kazs werewolf thing, pls bear with me if shit is whack i have a headache rn but this wouldnt leave me alone uwu
Werewolf: After a fellow werewolf in Gundham’s care bit Kazuichi during a full moon, a bite very nearly deep enough that he had almost lost his arm, he had the fortunate unfortunate circumstance of falling under the lycan curse. The lead up to his first transformation was the most agonized he’s ever been in his life, almost entirely because of his anxiety around the whole situation. He was told to expect a frenzy, a bloodlust, the uncontrollable anger of a killing machine that he would have no control over, nor would he even remember the next day. These warnings, as it turned out, did not pertain to him. The one that had given him the advice, who, unbeknownst to them (but known to the halfblood, of course) had been the one to inflict the curse on him in the first place, had hate in her heart for what she had become, and they believe this is what causes her changes to be as violent and painful as they are.
Kazuichi, however, is more or less at peace with what he is now. After the first transformation, he retained his consciousness, having been so afraid of losing it allowing him to hold on to it even as he became a beast. After that he was simply…a dog. He chased his tail, tried to lick Gundham’s face multiple times, much to both of their dismay, and ate some questionable things from the garbage before the moon’s cycle was through. Now, he grows excited around the full moon, so very ready to transform once again. When he’s a werewolf, he’s himself, possibly the most himself he’s ever been. He’s big, he’s scary, he has teeth and claws that could kill someone in an instant, but he won’t because like any dog, he just wants to make friends.
Misc. Werewolf Notes:
In the days before a full moon, and the next few days after, Kazuichi will experience an insatiable hunger due to the energy needed by his body to maintain his beastly form. He will eat most anything if he allows himself to go without food long enough, which can be bad for a human who very often forgets to eat due to overworking…
He gets more excitable around this time as well, the “zoomies” being something he often falls victim to, causing him to want to run and play for hours in a way that is perhaps not normal for a human person
He also gets emotional, anger and tears something that is very easily triggered over the most benign things
Instinct is also something he falls victim to a lot when nearing a full moon, which can have some...questionable results to his behavior...
He hasn’t been violent yet during a transformation, but if anyone were to attempt to harm his friends in such a state? He very well may have something to say about it now that he’s able to protect them…
Due to him being “at peace” with his transformations, it has given Kazuichi the ability to call forth parts of his beast form at will should he so desire (IE: he can have ears or a tail while still retaining his otherwise human appearance because…yes). Eventually, with enough practice, he may one day be able to transform entirely at will…
While in his default verse I write Kazuichi as being hard of hearing, in this verse his hearing will more or less revert back to what it was before the damage due to his beast form heightening all his senses. His sense of smell will also be much stronger, able to identify people by their scents, and otherwise track things down so long as he knows what it smells like
This verse will always be in conjunction with my Gundham’s halfblood verse unless your muse is Gundham or otherwise requested 
That being said, in this verse Kazuichi lives with my Gundham if they do not attend Hope’s Peak, more or less for convenience to ensure his transformations go smoothly and he stays well before and after them not to mention Kazuichi would take any opportunity to not have to live with his father…

What happens if you don't train your dog?
Welcoming a furry friend into your home is a joyous occasion, but it comes with responsibilities. One of the most crucial aspects of responsible pet ownership is training. In this blog, we'll explore the uncharted territory of what happens when you neglect training your dog and the potential challenges that may arise.
Behavioral Issues: Without proper training, dogs may develop undesirable behaviors such as excessive barking, aggression, jumping, and destructive chewing. Lack of guidance leaves them to interpret their surroundings and make choices that might not align with a harmonious household.
Communication Breakdown: Dogs, like humans, thrive on effective communication. Without training, there's a significant communication gap between you and your dog. This can lead to frustration on both ends as your dog struggles to understand your expectations, and you grapple with interpreting their needs and signals.
Safety Concerns: Untrained dogs are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, posing safety concerns for themselves and others. This includes running into traffic, approaching aggressive animals, or even displaying territorial aggression that could lead to harm.
Strained Relationships: A lack of training can strain the relationship between you and your dog. Behavioral issues might make it challenging to enjoy shared activities or outings. The joy of having a companion becomes overshadowed by the stress of managing unruly behavior.
Limited Socialization: Training is not just about commands; it's also about socialization. Dogs that aren't exposed to various environments, people, and other animals can become anxious or fearful in unfamiliar situations. This limits their ability to enjoy a well-rounded and happy life.
Health Implications: Mental stimulation is vital for a dog's well-being. Without training and mental challenges, dogs may suffer from boredom-related issues, such as depression or anxiety. This can manifest in destructive behaviors or, in extreme cases, impact their physical health.
Legal Consequences: Untrained dogs may pose legal challenges. If your dog engages in aggressive behavior or causes harm due to a lack of training, you may be held responsible, leading to legal consequences and potential liabilities.
While training may seem like a time-consuming task, the consequences of neglecting it can be far-reaching. Investing time and effort in training not only enhances the quality of life for your dog but also ensures a harmonious and enjoyable companionship for both of you. Remember, training is not just about obedience; it's a key component of responsible and loving pet ownership.

‘I’m a Trainer, and Here’s How I Design a Workout for Max Mental Health Benefits’
Exercising can be a powerful tool for maintaining and improving mental health—just ask science. A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, one of the largest studies on the topic to date, found regular exercise to be effective in treating symptoms of depression and anxiety. But not all workouts are created equal, and some will be more beneficial to your mental health than others. Plus, it’s possible for exercise to have negative mental health impacts, especially when related to exercise addiction. So how do you ensure your workout is serving both your body and your mind? Grace Albin, a Pilates instructor and personal trainer with a passion for optimizing exercise for your mental well-being, shares her best mental health exercise tips below. 5 mental health exercise tips a trainer swears by Tip 1: Find what works for you Reaping the most mental health benefits from your workout means exercising consistently. Finding an activity that you genuinely enjoy can help with this, says Albin, and sports psychologist agree. It can increase your intrinsic motivation, or doing something for the internal satisfaction of doing it, rather than the external validation or reward, Jamie Shapiro, an associate professor of sports psychology at Denver University, previously told Well+Good. When you find the right form of movement, you’ll know, Albin says. It’ll be something that makes you feel good and that you can look forward to, rather than “another chore on the to-do list,” she says. “It should be a thing that you get to do, not that you have to do.” One workout may not be your go-to mental health boost forever—if you feel yourself starting to get bored or feel unsatisfied, switch things up, says Albin. Just don’t overthink it, and go with your gut: “Overthinking it will actually backfire on you,” she says. “Exercising is the time to be intuitive rather than overly mental.” In general, science shows that low-stress workouts tend to be best for your mental health, but again, that’ll vary from person to person. The goal is to find something that lights you up without leaving your feeling too amped up in the end. Tip 2: Be selfish about your workout time For your workout to benefit your mind, as well as your body, make sure it is truly your time. Resist the temptation to make it a multitasking event, says Albin, whether that’s walking the dog or pushing the stroller as you run, or listening to a work-related podcast. Trying to do the most can undermine the point of exercising for your mental health by increasing the stress level of the workout. “Doing exercise can have great stress management implications,” Darren Lumbard, a psychologist who works with athletes at Atlantic Sports Health, previously told Well+Good. “But if we’re getting stressed , we counter the positive effects of exercise.” Instead, Albin says, your workout time should be multisensory, “whether you’re listening to the playlist you really like, or walking in a park that you love to see,” says Albin. “I promise you’re going to have so much extra energy that day that you’ll feel like you gained an hour of productivity.” Proponents of multisensory workouts say their ability to help your mind stay present deepen the mental (and physical) health benefits. “Research has shown that if our minds are focused on the present moment and we’re paying attention to our senses, we tend to perform at a higher level,” Justin Anderson, a sports psychologist and founder of Premier Sport Psychology in Minneapolis, previously told Well+Good. “You have a certain video, song, or energy being transmitted—that’s an emotion that helps drive energy to harness and focus on the drill at hand.” Don’t sacrifice what you need out of your workout for social reasons either, says Albin—maybe you feel pressure to take Zumba dance workouts because that’s what your friend does, for instance, but what you’d really rather do is yoga. “You got the physical benefits, because you went to a class and moved your body, but you didn’t get the mental benefits, because that wasn’t the exercise that your body was telling you to do that day,” says Albin. Tip 3: Create a designated exercise space If you’re working out at home, create a space (even if it’s small!) that will help you be mentally present. “For some people, it’s that dark, traditional spin class atmosphere with the electronic music,” says Albin. “And for some people, it’s super bright, lots of sunlight, you’ve got your candle, and it’s like a spa.” Small choices like lighting and music can set the tone for a workout that rejuvenates both mind and body. Tip 4: Keep it simple But that doesn’t mean you have to spend lots of money on fancy fitness equipment or products. In fact, Albin says, doing so can mitigate the mental health benefits of working out for some people, since “you’re stressing yourself out because now you’re going to be paying for this thing for the next few months of your credit card statement.” As long as it won’t bring guilt or stress into your workout, Albin acknowledges that having a cute new outfit, or resistance bands that match your exercise mat, can be motivating, and make the experience more fun. “But you absolutely do not need to buy anything special in order to do this,” she says. “That’s one of the barriers for people who think they don’t have the money, or don’t have the time—you don’t even need a full hour.” Tip 5: Leave the competitive mindset for another day For the last of her mental health exercise tips, Albin shares that while there’s a time and a place for competitive workouts, she believes they aren’t as beneficial for mental health. If you love racing your friends on your Peloton or trying to stay in the orange zone at Orangetheory, great, says Albin—just be sure you have at least one workout a week that’s just about enjoying moving your body.

elvenferretots replied to your post “On the same topic re:yesterday of tiny dogs and how people treat them:...”
My mentor in conformation actually switched from dobermans to chihuahuas, and I was pleasantly surprised by all the same things you were. Her dogs are athletic, breathe without any trouble, spend long hot days at dog shows much more comfortably than the dobermans (to be fair, they’re longhair so they have undercoat), and are just generally hardy and longlived little dogs. And they’re very much brachy with less snout than Tiki. 
Yes, all of this. I understand that “toy group people” don’t really care as much about some things as “working group people”- things like titles, drive, performance ability, etc sort of fall by the wayside when producing dogs where 99% of them are going to homes where they’ll be cute and small and sit on people’s laps and that’s about it. Most good ones still do conformation and will play around in some of the more pet-friendly sports, but some things flat out aren’t looked for. Why would they be? Toy group dogs are almost entirely pet only at this point. Who cares how much drive a yorkie has when they’ve been exclusively lapdogs for more than 100 years?
(This also revisits my “while testing to see if a dog still has correct breed temperament isn’t a bad thing, how much use is it if that breed is basically never used for its purpose in the modern era” thing- Yorkies started as ratters, sure, but have been solidly lapdogs only for some time now. If you want a ratter, a yorkie is not most people’s first choice when breeds like the jack russell, patterdale, and jagd exist. The modern, toy-sized yorkie is much different than the ratting yorkie of old. What, exactly, is the point of testing a modern yorkie’s ratting ability when the fact is that the vast majority of yorkies will never see a rodent in their lives?)
But because working ability is sort of shrugged off with many toy breeds, I’ve been finding a huge amount of the energy that would go into that be diverted to health testing instead. For ages I thought that the reason little dogs live so long is because they’re just little and it’s easier on their bodies. Now I’m thinking it also may have something to do with how much care and concern the better breeders have for ensuring that their tiny dogs are healthy and are producing healthy puppies. COI of less than a percent! Acknowledging the risk of a serious health problem by recommending extensive imagery testing of the head inside and out! A refusal to allow even mildly deformed dogs to be considered “mostly correct” to prevent the rapid worsening spread of a preventable issue! A demand that every breeder calling themselves ethical follow suit or else! Breeders outcrossing to various other lines on a regular basis, ignoring that they miss out on conformation titles just to reintroduce diversity into their own lines!
Jesus Christ, if dobermans had half of that energy poured into the health of the breed, maybe we wouldn’t be looking at over 50% of dogs dying from a boogieman heart condition and the average COI being over 40%. Maybe we wouldn’t be facing down the extinction of a breed while breeders refuse to even consider breeding to a dog that’s not guaranteed to get them a CH or IPO3. Dobe people are so caught up in the cropped ears vs natural arguments and the “vWD isn’t THAT bad” koolaid while they look down their noses at these “useless little dogs” who at least have enough of their shit together that their dogs usually die at 15-20 instead of 4. FOUR! Dobe breed average is 8 and you get a fucking longevity certificate if you manage to keep that dog alive until 10, with several dogs literally dropping dead at 4-6 years old.

Yandere Life Ship
Can I have a yandere life ship plz? ^^~ ok so! I’m really awkward, shy, and introverted! I’m open and accepting to everything! I cant be around people who aren’t 😅 I like time to myself and I have social anxiety but! When I’m close to someone I literally give my everything its all or nothing with me. I’m kind of clingy. I’m quick to cry and be manipulated. But once you piss me off all that goes away lmao I can be really smart mouthed and say cruel shit in the blink of an eye Part 1/3
and not care for the persons feelings at all. And with that being said it doesn’t take much to piss me off lol and I can’t be silenced like... at all unless you’ve completely broken me but even then I’ll probably still try you... if you try to silence me before breaking me then you’re in for me mouthing off at you and I’m brat for a reason you know lol Part 2/3 
I love music, alternative(Lolita,yume/yami kawaii,e-girl,kawaii,etc. /mainstream fashion(“baddie” fashion) my fashion depends on how I feel, I have A L O T of kinks so I wouldn’t do well with someone vanilla 💀 I’m not sure if that’s enough but here it is!  Part 3/3 -MILLI 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yandere 1: (Main yandere)- Jay Park
Tumblr media
  Jay is a top dog when it comes to yanderes, he doesn’t mess around and what he wants, he gets no matter what. No one knows exactly how or when Jay became infatuated with you but you do quickly find out why; he likes someone who can put up a fight whether it be verbally or physically and you can do exactly that. This yandere makes it evident from the get go that he’ll let you yell and talk, hell, he’ll even let you punch him and try to knock him down all the while smiling at your futile attempts but, in the end, you’ll always learn your place after he’s put you through what he deems as a “reward” for your attitude. Your life with him is going to be interesting because he’s going to do every to brake you down into becoming a submissive victim but, unlike other yanderes and their victims, he’s also going to simultaneously mold you into a powerful “sidekick” that everyone will love and fear just as much as they love and fear him once he’s deemed you well-behaved enough to go public with him.              
your friend that is victimized by yandere one: Mint
Tumblr media
Mint is a supportive friend who is quick to dry those tears when you come to her in an upset state of mind. She doesn’t fool around when it comes to her friends feelings which means that if she learns that someone is hurting you in any way then she’ll doing everything in her power to bring that to an end. She may not be able to do much but she knows that sometimes all a person needs to feel better is some time out with friends or some time away from everyone, which she is more than willing to let you spend time at the extra house her parents bought for her. What drew you to together as such close friends was actually that facts that you two are nearly polar opposites from each other, she’s more outgoing and isn’t quick to start confrontation or talk back while you are, but you two did share commonality in being open with everything, loving the kawaii style of cutsey things, and with being emotional.                            Jay won’t like this one bit. He hates the thought of some tiny, 4′11 chick being an emotional support buddy who can clear your mind and has the resources to give you time away from him. Although she can’t do much else, he still hates her guts with every nerve in his body, just the sight of her or mention of her name can bring his blood to a raging boil. Although she isn’t much of a threat, except when she sends you away for some private time in her other house, Jay quickly writes her off as someone who needs to vanish from your life and he can think of many different ways to make that happen but his two favorite options are that he can either snap her like a twig and hide her body somewhere or he can have his shady friends take her and do with her what they please. Either way, Mint with disappear at some point and the likelihood that anyone, especially you, will ever see her again alive is less of a chance than a snowball has at surviving a trip through hell.
where they’d keep you: the studio
Tumblr media
Jay is constantly working on new music whether it be for himself or for other artists so the best place to keep you is where he spends his time most often. Jay loves this option not just because he’s around you often but because this gives him a chance to have more ‘lively, productive’ breaks when he needs a break from pressing keys, strumming strings, recording or mixing. It’s also a good place to keep you because it limits the space you have when trying to be away from him and you have no option but to beg him to get you food or water or to let you out whenever you need to use the restroom.
your chances of survival/escape:   survival: 5/10, escape: 2/10
Jay may enjoy that fiery passion that you have to not be controlled/manipulated or abused but he does have a point in time where he’ll get tired of it and, if you don’t brake and bow down to him at some point, then he will consider killing you eventually. Jay isn’t afraid to use his strength to get what he wants from you so you’ll not only deal with him mentally destroying you piece by piece but also doing that with you physically as well. The best thing you can do to survive with this yandere is by swallowing your pride from time to time (at the very least) if not completely and letting him say and do to you what he pleases without any interruptions from you. By doing so you’ll ensure less punishments, which are both immensely emotionally and physically straining to your body and mind. 
As for escape, he may keep you in a small studio so it would seem as though it should be relatively easy for you to get away from him but what you’ll fail to realize until you make any attempts is that smaller spaces severally limit your sources of hiding or dodging his advances towards you when he arrives to check up on you and/or work. It’s also hard to escape the studio because you only have one means of escape, which is through the single door that he enters which is kept locked with many different dead bolts and locks.           
Yandere 2: (yandere that wants to steal you from yandere 1)- Haechan
Tumblr media
Haechan actually gets to know you before Jay even knows of your existence because he knows you through his connection to Mint. Just as you are close friends to Mint, you easily become close friends with the boy who shares common ground with you when it comes to mouthing off. The both of you enjoy having competitions to see who can be the most sassy and, sometimes you both reach the point where you actually hurt each others feeling because of what you say in an attempt to one-up each other during the playful fights. You both end up forgiving each other by giving one another backhanded compliments then move on to conversations about fashion, even though his sense is far different than yours. Haechan is a clingy person so to have someone who can be equally so once they’re comfortable around him will be something that he enjoys whenever he gets to hang out with you.
When you go missing after Jay takes you, Haechan will be distraught and will use his detective stalking abilities to try to find you and bring you back to safety. He knows that you’re not the type of person to just up and leave without saying something first so he knows immediately that someone else is involved and he’ll go through the list of people that you know well or only met even just once to try and find you. If Haechan ever finds you after being taken by Jay then expect him to be 20000000000000000000x more clingy and obsessive with you. You’ll quickly learn that you may no longer be with Jay (if Haechan is successful at helping you escape, which isn’t a likely case) but you’ve landed in the hands of yet another yandere, one who used to be (and apparently still is) your friend.  
why yandere 1 & 2 fell for you:
What draws these two men to you is your ability to switch from a quiet, shy introverted girl to a smart mouthed, tough girl within a blink of an eye who also has the ability to not back down easily. Jay , especially, loves brats! so he sees braking you as a challenge that he is faaaaar too willing to take on, and to say that he’ll love every moment of braking you and molding you into the badass, “ride or die” but submissive victim that he wants is an understatement. He loves seeing you cry but he loves that fire in your eyes and the silver tongue that you use when you step up to fight back against his abusive advances. For both of these yanderes, the more you talk back, the more excited they become for the punishments they will dish out to you once they’ve had enough of letting you speak your mind before taking back the control and getting the final word in.     
Oh, another thing that they enjoy, (again, especially Jay) is the sex life that you two will have. Jay is a very adventurous, kinky, thirsty man so knowing that he’s got a victim who has claimed that they aren’t up for that vanilla shit  (whether they’ve taken that back or not since becoming his ‘puppet’) will definitely send his non-vanilla sex drive overboard. He’ll enjoy putting you in positions that  you’ve never even heard of, he’ll enjoy seeing just how kinky you can be and how far he can push you overboard with his endless sex-capades.

Alchemy Lullaby (13/?)
Of all the changes that came with living in the castle, becoming a father was not one he anticipated. When Eugene encounters a small child suffering like he did, he gives them the opportunity to grow up the way he never did… helping them both heal. (AU where Varian is 4 and gets adopted by Eugene)
Where was Varian last chapter? And the fallout of last chapter, while we're at it. Varian gets babysat, The trio learns the truth about Varian's powers.
Read the rest on AO3
uh oh final stretch time! Big thanks to @space--butterflies for beta reading ilu <3 Uhhh this chapter is kinda all over but then again so am I! Mentally. So whatever. Leave a comment if you have any thoughts or wanna scream at me! Thanks again for everyone's support!
Frederick shifted awkwardly, trying not to make eye contact. At his side, Arianna tried desperately to hold in her laughter but failed. At least one of them was excited about today. 
He supposed he should’ve seen it coming, what with Rapunzel running off to Old Corona. Quirin assured him he’d spoken to some guards who were willing to help him, but neither of them had predicted Eugene and Cassandra to join her. Though they really should have. The point is that his daughter dropped Varian off in the throne room, asked her parents to babysit, and vanished before they could protest.
So. Here they are. Varian sat on Arianna’s lap while they worked. For the most part, he was well behaved, watching as Frederick saw citizens and made decrees. He was also only half awake at the time, however, and now that he was waking up he began to grow restless. 
“What’s he doing?” Varian whispered to Arianna, curiosity filling his eyes. She couldn’t help but melt at those puppy dog eyes. Frederick… not so much. He didn’t hate Varian, rather he hated what he stood for. Rapunzel grew up without them, and now she was a young adult. Not just that, but a mother figure to the little boy. It felt so strange, to go from childless to mother to grandmother in under a year, but Arianna was going to spoil Varian the way Rapunzel never was. 
“Right now he’s signing an order,” she said. “It’s our job to make the laws and ensure they’re being executed fairly.”
“What’s a law?”
Frederick hummed from where he was reading over a paper. “It’s what’s right and wrong, we make an… announcement. The law keeps you safe and those that break the law go to jail.” 
“So wait…” Varian squirmed down out of Arianna’s arms and stood in front of Frederick’s throne. The king peered down at him from over his parchment. “You decide what’s right and wrong? No one else?”
Frederick furrowed his brow at the statement. Of course a street child would be uneasy about lawmaking. He likely had to dodge guards when stealing to survive, and lord knows what his parents were up to before Eugene found him. 
“Well…” Frederick’s face flushed with anxiety. How do you explain the intricacies of being a ruler? Suddenly, an idea sprung to life. He could tell it showed on his face, and bless his wife, she knew exactly what he was thinking.
He glanced down at Varian before he could see her make an abort signal by cutting her hand across her neck. 
The King lifted Varian up from the ground and swapped places with him so that Varian was sitting on the throne. “Why don’t you try? Be king for a moment!” 
The throne was plush, even softer than Varian’s bed or even Ruddiger’s fur, and he ran his fingers across the seat in wonder. He repositioned himself so he was seated how Frederick always sat: one hand on each armrest, his feet dangling down. 
The court watched with bated breath, curious as to what Varian would do. Perhaps he could prove himself a natural born leader…?
Varian briefly hesitated. “I can make… any rule…?”
Sensing a foreboding aura, Frederick was quick to backtrack. He held up a finger. “Well, in theory yes, but a good King doesn’t make any law without advice.”
The child’s shy smile morphed into a nigh maniacal grin. His eyes were a fire, and Frederick a match. He pulled out his stuffed raccoon who he’d affectionately named Stuffed Ruddiger, or Stuffy. “Stuffy will be my… advice person!”
“Counsel,” Arianna supplied.
“Yes, thank you, my queen!” She hid a giggle behind her hand at the sight of her husband’s bewildered expression. 
“Now, for my first law!” He stood up on the throne. The guards stationed by the door stood at rapt attention; this was the most interesting thing to happen on duty all week. “Stuffy, what do you think?” He pressed the plush up to his ear, nuzzling into its soft fabric. It smelled faintly of detergent and Rapunzel’s shampoo. “Mhm. Mhm.” Frederick watches as Varian’s eyes hunger for chaos, starving for power. This child truly was Eugene’s kid with his penchant for chaos, mixed with Rapunzel’s determination, and a terrifyingly unique intellect. Lord help anyone who betrays or angers him. if Varian ever decided to try and conquer Corona when he was older, Frederick had no doubt he would succeed. 
“I hereby decree… I have no bedtime! And I can sleep in as late as I want!” 
“Absolutely not, young man. You need a schedule.” Frederick insisted. 
“You’re not my dad!” Varian huffed.
“Maybe not, but I am King, and what I say goes.”
“Uh, dear,” Arianna butt in, an amused smile on her face. “I do believe you said Varian was king at the moment.” His face turned to that of horror.
“Yea!” Varian pointed a stubby finger at the man. “You’re under arrest for impersonating the king!” 
 He sputtered. “How do you know that that’s a law!?”
“Eugene told me all the laws he broke to get me to sleep once.” Yea, that sounded about right. What wasn’t right was that the guards actually took Frederick by the arms. 
“Um, what are you doing?” He asked. One of the guards in question… Sam, was it? Didn’t look guilty in the slightest. 
“Arresting you at the order of the king, your majesty.” He smiled pleasantly, and Arianna choked on her wheezing breath. 
“Are you serious!?” Frederick cried. He didn’t fight back, he knew the men were trained well beyond his ability to fight back. “Varian, I will be telling your father about this!” He cried as he was led out.
Varian gasped in horror. Oh no, would Eugene be mad about it!? Actually, when he thought about it, probably not. Frederick seemed to be the only one upset in this scenario, everyone else was amused. 
He glanced over at Arianna. “Now what?”
Arianna hummed. “Why don’t you go find the Captain, sweetie? I gotta fill in for Mr. Imposter now.” 
-
The Captain fidgeted, unused to the weight in his arms. It had been a long while since his own child was this small, after all.
Not that the Captain particularly minded! He’d watched from afar as Eugene rapidly matured from ex-thief to devoted lover and father, so he was willing to babysit just this once. Plus Varian was just the cutest little boy. 
“What’s that?” he asked, pointing to where the guards were training.
“What? The wall?” The Captain responded.
“No, that,” Varian pointed to an innocent-looking chalkboard. It was covered in doodles from Eugene and his friend Lance, who was off doing god-knows-what today. 
“That’s what your dad teaches. How to catch criminals.” 
Varian frowned, confused. “Why?” His dad seemed good at it, considering he caught Varian way back when, and Varian liked to think he’d been a good thief! Well, as good as any 4-year-old could be. 
The Captain stared back blankly. Did… did Varian not know what his dad was? Or rather, once was? He cleared his throat. “Well… to catch a thief, you have to think like a thief. And your dad is… good at thinking like a thief! So he pretends to be one, and it’s our job to catch him.” Varian listened with rapt attention, eyes full of wonder. He missed when Cassandra looked at him like that. Then, Varian gasped, as if overcome with a wonderful idea. 
“Can I try?” He asked, bouncing in the man’s arms. Surely if Eugene could do it, so could he! Plus, he used to be a thief! Surely that means he thinks like a thief, right? Maybe then he could be like him one day!
The Captain laughed incredulously. “You wanna be the thief?” He got a rapid head nod in response. Well, surely it wouldn’t hurt. His men would have to be delicate, careful not to hurt him… a good dexterity challenge… Eugene wouldn’t mind, would he? Probably not, the man got a big kick out of Varian’s antics. On more than one occasion he’d caught Eugene laughing while Nigel chased Varian around.  
“The game is simple… Varian here will be holding onto this cookie jar,” The captain handed over a small porcelain jar. It didn’t have many cookies inside, he didn’t want a sick kid on his hands. “Your job is to catch him before he eats them all.” The guards shifted awkwardly. It was one thing when it was Eugene and Lance, but another when it was the castle’s resident child. 
The first few days after Varian came home were… honestly the best gossip palace staff had had in years. The King had flipped out! The princess just came home, now she’s a mother! Flynn Rider stole a child! 
Eugene had brought him home just a day or two after he started teaching, so Captain at first thought he was slacking when he stopped showing. Plus Varian had still been spooked by guards, so they’d avoided most of the staff in general. It all culminated when the Captain barged in on Eugene putting Varian to bed. Poor thing had gotten so spooked he burst into tears. Ever since then, the Captain had made it his mission to befriend Varian.
Suffice to say, he was much more successful than the King.
The Captain called out “Ready?” to his men, who all reluctantly shifted into position. The little boy gripped on tight to the jar; he didn’t want to drop it! Then all the cookies would be ruined, and so would the game!
“Go!” Like a shot from a cannon, a group of soldiers all charged at Varian, who let out a squeak and took off towards the palace. He’d only been on the street for a few months, but he knew how to sneak food as he ran. That way, there wouldn’t be any evidence of his thievery. He brushed past amused maids who the guards couldn’t maneuver so easily around. There was a telltale sound of cursing and a thunk; someone had just run into a wall. 
Varian pulled out the first of his prizes. This was gonna be so easy! 
The guards may have been bigger than him, but Varian was fast, and a damn good listener. He’d spent hours listening through Corona’s capital for his momma’s voice, trying to discern who was coming towards his alley hideout. And while he’d never gotten in trouble with the guards, what with being a toddler, he’d seen thieves get arrested dozens of times. He knew what to do purely by osmosis. 
A few guards closed in on him, one on each side, and for a brief moment, Varian thought he was done for. 
Golden hair trailing down a tower.
Black rocks shooting through support beams.
A splitting headache reared its ugly head, hammering a knife into his skull. Varian dropped the jar with a shriek, covering his head as he begged for something, anything to end the pain! The guards winced as well, and were quick to pick him up and hold him. He whimpered as the pain shot through his head.
Then, just as sudden as it appeared, it was gone.
He blinked once, twice. And then leapt out of the guard’s arms. He grabbed his jar and kept moving.
“Wha- the little monster tricked me!” He could hear the guard cry out while his partner laughed. 
Tiny feet slowed down a bit, listening for heavy footsteps. Sure enough, clanking grew closer and closer. Varian munched on another cookie, waiting, waiting, waiting…
He zoomed forward just as a guard pounced. He groaned in pain. This exercise was supposed to be about subtle, careful movements, not hurting anyone. Well, not hurting Varian. The guards were getting hurt fine. At least Varian seemed entertained, giggling at the guard sprawled on the floor. 
“You got me good, kid, just like your dad.” Varian seemed to brighten at that, offering the man on the floor a cookie which he accepted with dignity. 
Varian showed off his signature buck toothed grin. “Good, cuz I wanna stay with him forever and learn how to be just like him!” 
“Oh yea?” A voice said from behind him, and Varian whirled around to find himself face to face with the Captain. He reached for Varian’s middle, prompting a shriek of delight. Oh, he was good! Varian was so focused on talking to the nice floor man he didn’t even hear him! 
The little child dodged at the last moment, running through the Captain’s legs. He could hear the man laugh raucously at his daring nature as he fled. 
He ran and ran, through halls and down corridors, until he began to hear footsteps and voices again. But these weren’t just any voices! 
Completely forgetting the game, Varian raced over to the doorway from which the voices came from, and sure enough, Quirin, Cassandra, Eugene, and Rapunzel were standing together, arguing. 
“I cannot believe you!” Rapunzel hissed, pacing around the room. Quirin looked resolute, a grim determination stretched across his face. 
He regretted nothing. At first he’d been unsure, unwilling to go along with Frederick’s plans and turn Rapunzel around, but then Ulla had dropped that bombshell, and he couldn’t sit idly by any longer. Not when a solution was finally within reach, one that would satisfy both halves of his warring mind. 
“Forgive me Princess, I was just doing what your father asked.”
“What, he asked you to lie?” Cassandra crossed her arms. 
Quirin frowned. “Well, not exactly. It is true that we are doing something about the rocks, just… something that isn’t finished yet.”
“So, what is it?” Eugene pressed. “And what does it have to do with that scroll? You know, the one we almost died to get?” 
Carefully, Quirin unrolled the parchment. It was split down the middle, but covered in magnificent runes and art. The sun and moon sat up top, dripping onto a flower and castle, respectfully. 
Eugene rolled his eyes. “Wow. All that for a doodle and some gibberish.” 
“Not gibberish.” Quirin chided. He understood Eugene was impatient and wanted to protect his son (no, not Eugene’s son, Quirin’s son), but that attitude was uncalled for. “Incantations. Ancient knowledge about the sundrop and moondrop.”
“Incantations...?” Rapunzel breathed. Her fingers brushed over the flower drawing. “What kind?” 
“Well, the first being the healing incantation. From what I’ve been told, you know that one a little too well.” He glanced up into the princess’s nervous green eyes, then trailing down to her hair. He continued, “The other being for… terrible things.”
“That being?” Cassandra asked. 
“Think, what is the opposite of healing? The sundrop gives life, and the moondrop… takes it.”
An uneasy silence fell over the trio. Eugene whistled a low, nervous tone. 
From his spot in the doorway, Varian whimpered. 
“My colleague is more knowledgeable on this, but...” the knight took a deep breath. “Millennium ago, a phenomenal event had divided an ancient power in two. The Sundrop and Moondrop fell to Earth; two elements waiting to be reunited. Anyone who wielded them could harness these incantations.” Rapunzel gripped her hair in comfort, mind going back to her tower. 
“While your hair is the manifestation of the sundrop, the same can be said about the rocks. I was once a member of an organization, and our job was to protect the world from that which could wield their destructive power.”
“You mean… the source of the rocks…?” Quirin nodded at the question. 
“The source of the rocks, and the only thing capable of using this decay spell… the moonstone.” His gaze hardened. “Once like the sunflower, a singular entity anyone could harness. But it now inhabits a living being, just like you, your highness.” 
“Varian,” Eugene whispered.
“Me.” Varian added. 
The toddler felt tears prick in the corners of his eyes. He didn’t want to hear anymore! Now Eugene knew how much of a danger he was, how bad he was! He’d thought without momma it wouldn’t be a problem anymore, but no, everywhere he went, he was doomed to spread death and decay, according to that paper. 
He didn’t want to hurt anyone! He didn’t want to hurt Eugene! 
There was only way to keep his family safe, to keep himself safe. His momma had been right to abandon him in the alley, that was the longest he’d ever gone without accidentally damaging something or someone with the rocks! And apparently he couldn’t just use the rocks, he could decay, what did that mean… opposite of healing…
He could kill Eugene on accident.
That was the final straw. 
He ran. 
Out of the castle. 
Out of the garden.
Into the capital and beyond.
He didn’t look at where he was going or for how long, he just kept running, and running and running…
Until he bumped into someone.
-
“I don’t understand,” Rapunzel whispered, distraught. “You were supposed to keep the moonstone safe, but you failed? Why are you telling us this?”
Quirin had the decency to look guilty. “Varian inheriting the moonstone and becoming the moondrop was an accident. But rest assured, his mother and I are resuming custody to take care of it.”
It was if all the air was sucked out of the room. “What did you just say?” Eugene whispered, daring him to speak again.
Quirin glared down at the man. “You have done your best, but it is time for the Brotherhood to complete its purpose. We will destroy the moonstone without hurting Varian. Ulla and I, as his parents, will take care of him.”
“You’re his father!?” Cassandra gasped.
“That woman is insane! Don’t you dare let her near him!” Rapunzel shrieked, the full fury of a Queen directed at Quirin. 
Eugene grabbed Quirin’s vest and pulled him close. “If you so much as touch a hair on his head…” he growled.
“I am his father, not you. You no longer get a say.” the ex-thief’s face fell into horror and fury.
“No.” he growled. “I’m the one who took Varian in when his mother kicked him in front of me. I’m the one who’s held him after nightmares! I’m the one who’s promised him over and over that he is safe from people like you!” He raised his fist to strike Quirin, but suddenly found his hands being pulled behind him. He threw his head back, wildly trying to make sense of what happened, and spotted the Captain gripping his wrists with the King in the doorway. 
“Dad!” Rapunzel cried, flustered and outraged. “Are you hearing this!?”
“I am.” The King’s tone was cold. He wasn’t on their side, Rapunzel realized. In his eyes, this was the same scenario as her own kidnapping. And this time, he wouldn’t let the kidnappers go unpunished. Frederick raised his hands, and a few more guards entered to restrain the trio.
Quirin directed his voice towards Rapunzel. “I’m sorry, your highness, but your father tasked me with saving Corona from the rocks. This is the only way. Ulla has likely already come to collect him.”
“And from the sounds of it, he made the right call. You stole him from his mother?” Frederick had the gall to look shocked at Eugene’s words. 
“SHE HURT HIM!” He yelled, thrashing in the Captain’s grip. “VARIAN, VARIAN WHERE ARE YOU?!” 
“Come on, son, don’t make this any harder than it has to be,” The Captain whispered, locking shackles around his wrists. 
“How can any of you be ok with this!?” Cassandra yelled from where a guard held her arm tightly. “You’re sending him to his death! We’ve seen what Ulla will do to him!”
“Dad,” Rapunzel begged. “Please, don’t do this.”
The King shook his head. “You wanted to remove the black rocks, Rapunzel? This is the only way.” He nodded to the Captain, and with reluctance, he dragged the fellow father down to the dungeons.
“VARIAN!” Eugene screamed, fighting every step of the way. It was a far cry from the last arrest, the other man noticed sadly. 
At last, they reached his cell, the same one he’d been trapped in with Cassandra. The doors closed with a thud.
Eugene collapsed against the bars and screamed.

2020’S Best CBD For Pets – CBD Oil For Cats And Dogs
2020’S Best CBD For Pets – CBD Oil For Cats And Dogs
For the last couple of years, I have been praising cannabidiol, or CBD oil for its remarkable ability to help me relax in any situation. I have tried powerful CBD tinctures, festive gummies and even high quality vape pens. Since using the various hemp derived CBD products, all of my stress is completely manageable. As a direct result, I now sleep much better at night. The improved rest does wonders for my energy level at work. I am more fruitful and content throughout my long days at the office and at home. It wasn’t until a recent visit to the vet that I realized dogs and cats can take full advantage of CBD as well. CBD snacks for pets are amazing.
It’s important to realize that hemp derived CBD is not the same as CBD from marijuana. Although they both stem from the cannabis plant, hemp has less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabidol, or THC. That means there is not nearly enough THC to give an animal the high that most folks associate with mary jane. Industrial hemp is also legal in all 50 states, thanks to President Trump putting the 2018 Farm Bill into effect.
A consumer must realize that not all CBD treats for cats and dogs is the same. It’s up to every pet owner to do his or her homework and buy trustworthy goods that will keep your pets calm and cool. Maybe it’s in the middle of a nasty thunderstorm or perhaps it’s during a Fourth of July fireworks show. There is plenty of whining, panting and shaking. Puppies hide in the corner and kitties refuse to leave your lap. It is up to you, your fur-baby’s loving parent, to do a little homework and only buy safe and efficient products.
Your CBD oil for pets should work quickly to help them chill out whenever it is raining cats and dogs. Everything should also be made with nothing but organic ingredients. Meanwhile, the CBD treats for dogs and cats should be laboratory tested and manufactured in the United States. You certainly don’t want CBD food or drinks that are made with flavor additives or low quality hemp oil. Otherwise, who knows what potentially dangerous substances you are giving to little Pooky?
Let’s take a good look at 10 of the biggest and best companies out there selling CBD oil for our tail-wagging buddies.

You simply give your little rug rats Just CBD for Pets whenever you have a stranger over, there is a nasty thunderstorm outside, or the neighbor insists on lighting off fireworks.
Every Just CBD product sold is created in the U.S. with domestically grown hemp and ships all around the world from the Sunshine State. The company makes it a point to use nothing but the finest ingredients, including pure oil and concentrates, in all of its merchandise. The last thing you want to do is buy CBD snacks for pets that are produced with flavor additives or low-quality hemp oil. It is also laboratory tested to ensure users’ safety. Just CBD’s packaging is straightforward, and they make it a point to never misrepresent what exactly is used in their goods.
Another one of the factors that makes Just CBD stand apart from its competition is its reputable customer service team. Feedback can be found all over the web complimenting their well-knowledge and courteous team. After sending an email, individuals usually hear back from a representative within an hour’s time. At the same time, JustCBD offers plenty of top-notch promotions for new customers, holidays and more.
Thankfully, JustCBD for Pets works quickly the first time it is used. Unlike expensive pharmaceuticals, it doesn’t take a few days for CBD to work in an animal’s body. Overall, I was very happy with Just CBD Oil for Dogs and Cats. Tails wag and everyone can chill out. While Marley and Charlie may not be able to verbalize how they are feeling, Just CBD oil for cats and dogs can put their worried minds at peace, regardless of any uncomfortable surrounding.
From JustCBD’s Steak Bites, Chicken Biscuits, Liver Meatballs, and Chicken Meatballs for dogs to their Purr Treats and Chicken Treats for cats, all for about $20 for a 100 mg jar, it couldn’t be easier to keep your beloved pets calm and cool.

2 Charlotte’s Web CBD for Dogs
Without question, Charlotte’s Web is one of the biggest names in the cannabidiol industry. Working out of Boulder, Colorado, the company was formerly known as Charlotte’s Web PAWS. It was started by the Stanley brothers who created their own strain of hemp in 2012.
According to its business website, Charlotte’s Web CBD for dogs helps their minds, bodies and souls to remain calm. At the same time, it should improve a puppy’s physical and mental well-being, as it supports brain function, vision, healthy hips and joints.
Charlotte’s Web CBD for dogs focuses on staying calm, supporting the brain or easing stiffness in the joints. The powerful CBD merchandise also comes in a couple flavors, chicken and an unflavored Medium-Chain Triglyceride (MCT) oil. Ingredients include vitamin E, elderberry powder, valerian root, chamomile, and Charlotte’s Web’s own hemp extract.
Nowadays, a pet owner can have a field day on the site, as there is a wide range of CBD options available when it comes to potency and strength. A small bag of Cognition Chews for Dogs costs $19.99, and a consumer can pick up a Canine Bundle with both oil and chews for $79.98. There are even combos that mix CBD for pets with calming gummies for their owners. Unfortunately, Charlotte’s Web inventory gets a bit expensive. Buyers also complain about their complicated website, along with Charlotte’s Web slow shipping methods.
Generally speaking, consumers appreciate that every one of Charlotte’s Web’s CBD products is tested. The problem is the assessments are performed in-house and curious buyers, like me, never get to figure out how the testing is being performed. Why can’t I see the laboratory results on the company site? Is there something they don’t want the public to see? Sure, a buyer with a batch number can always contact the customer service department, but why bother? Next.
3 PureKana CBD for Dogs
Centered in Arizona, Pure Kana sells a few different flavors and sizes of CBD for dogs, including the popular Peanut Butter & Pumpkin and Blueberry & Chicken options. A few years ago, the company became one of the most recognized names in the CBD industry thanks to its naturally grown oil tinctures from farms in Kentucky. Today, their “therapeutic and nutritional alternative” to traditional dog treats are extremely popular in domestic households.
Offering numerous benefits to pets, Pure Kana apparently assists with everything from separation anxiety to loud noises, inducing hunger, anti-aging, nausea and elasticity in the skin. They make it a point to use nothing but organic hemp that is grown in the United States.
Supposedly, PureKana has some of the best hemp growers in the world. The Pure Kana team also uses its own technology to extract the strongest hemp possible with just the right amount of THC in every piece of CBD merchandise. PureKana says everything is tested to ensure quality by preventing potentially dangerous toxins being mixed into the CBD treats for cats and dogs.
PureKana CBD for dogs is free of dairy, soy and gluten. There are no artificial flavors or preservatives. Everything is created with full spectrum CBD, meaning they have other cannabinoids, terpenes, and phytocannabinoids. Farm fresh eggs and oat flour are also found in the mix.
A 3.25 oz bag of 25 treats with 25 mg hemp extract for small dogs (up to 40 pounds) costs approximately $30 a pop. The same size selection of 50 mg CBD goodies for larger canines is about $35.
I like how Pura Kana is stringent about only working with certified companies. I also appreciate the fact that all of their CBD concoctions are tested at a third party facility. To top it off, you can easily look at the PureKana website to see certifications and read all kinds of laboratory reports.
4 Green Roads CBD Oil for Pets
Located in South Florida, Green Roads is a relatively small business, but is growing on a daily basis. Back in 2013, Laura Baldwin Fuentes was a pharmacist who created a smart alternative for a friend suffering from a bad opiate addiction. The pharmacist’s work paid off, as her broad spectrum formulas are now sold in thousands of Green Roads stores across the country, as they are one of the most widely seen brands of CBD sold in the U.S.
Nowadays, Green Roads strives to help men, women and pets with the top CBD products on the market. The store offers a wide variety of CBD merchandise, ranging from oils, edibles and capsules to topicals, syrups and CBD drops designed specifically for pets to keep all users nice and calm. Buyers like Green Roads’ big selection of CBD for dogs and cats. All of Green Roads CBD for our beloved fur-babies is produced domestically from pure hemp and is non GMO, soy free and nonintoxicating. Everything is mixed with MCT oil, making it easier for a pet to digest.
The smaller bottles for petite puppies and felines run approximately $20 each. Each bottle holds 30 ml of CBD with 60 mg of total CBD, equaling 2 mg per serving. The medium sized dogs get 30 ml bottles with 210 mg of CBD for up to 7 mg per serving for about $40. Finally, the big dogs that weigh more than 50 pounds get to enjoy 30 ml bottles with 600 mg of CBD, equaling roughly 20 mg per serving, for a whopping $59.99
Shoppers can keep their eyes open for more Green Roads CBD for pet products hitting the market soon, such as baked treats and soft chews. The CBD oil for pets is most effective when used on a daily basis, but it may take a few days for Marley to start enjoying the benefits of CBD.
I particularly like Green Roads’ highly informative website, such as lab reports. Plenty of essential information is not only present, but it is easy to find, unlike Charlotte’s Web. You can even scan a CBD product’s QR code to learn details about the purity and the quality of the goods?
5 HempMy Pet Hemp Dog Biscuits
Like so many of its competitors, HempMy Pet creates everything from naturally grown hemp in Loveland, Colorado. Since opening its doors in 2016, the company and its founder, Marc Brannigan have been on a mission to improve the daily lives of animals with handmade CBD products.
Ingredients include everything from pumpkin, apples and eggs to garbanzo bean flour, tapioca starch, mint and parsley. Each containing 2 mg of CBD, there are 25 biscuits to a bag. A person is supposed to give a pet one biscuit for every 10 pounds of the animal’s body weight. Of course, pet owners are still instructed to test the waters, as every creature is different.
Besides organic dog biscuits, Hemp My Pet sells human-grade CBD oils and tinctures that are third party tested. There are no solvents and zero pesticides. The goods are made with the CO2 extraction process, and everything is gluten free, GMO free and 100% vegan. Besides dogs and cats, their CBD pet products can also be used on horses.
Hemp My Pet offers a variety of CBD infused items, from a $25 bag of pumpkin flavored hemp extract for small dogs to a $99 jar of 500 mg CBD infused jar of coconut oil infused with CBD and a 1 oz tincture with 1000 mg of CBD for $149. An experimental consumer can grab a Wellness Bundle for $118.
What consumers don’t care for the limited number of products offered by HempMy Pet. Also, people can only get their money back within 30 days if everything remains unopened. That means if it the CBD for pets has no effect on four-legged family member, you are simply out of luck. And according to the internet, there are several buyers who have been left with the short end of the stick.
6 Fab CBD Dog Treats
Fab CBD’s dog treats are crunchy snacks that are made without THC. Relying on a top quality formula of hemp extract, there are still dog-friendly cannabinoids present. They may not be the largest CBD retailer, but Fab CBD is continually growing. Since starting the business in 2018, the company has opened facilities in both Tampa and the U.K.
Formulas and flavor options include peanut butter apple to keep a dog nice and calm. The chicken treats are designed to help a pup’s skin and coat, while the salmon flavor is designed to stimulate the immune system. Along with CBD, they are made with the potent antioxidant turmeric, flaxseeds and milk thistle. Unfortunately, feedback all over the web criticizes Fab CBD’s pet merchandise for its taste. Apparently, owners have to hide the goodies in other food, or their dogs will never eat them.
A pet owner should give anywhere from half a CBD treat to two full ones a day to take the edge off a stressed out pup. Every selection for a dog contains 3 mg of CBD. The CBD for pets runs $34 for a 9 oz bag. If you want to get experimental, you can try all three in an $87 bundle pack.
Too bad that user feedback often claims the taste Fab CBD oil for tinctures leaves in a user’s mouth is quite disappointing. On a positive side, the business website is quite educational and impressive. It claims that their powerful CBD is grown naturally in Colorado with a full spectrum cannabinoid blend. The site is also written in everyday language that an everyday buyer, like us, can relate to, rather than trying to impress anyone with fancy jargon and technical talk.
Consumers like me also appreciate all of product photos shared by (what I assume are) real buyers. This provides plenty of color to the site that other online CBD stores lack. A buyer can discover suggestions about how much to use and how to administer their pets’ CBD online, as well as on the packaging.
7 Canna-Pet
Headquartered in Seattle, Canna Pet is proud to say they’re the only CBD company out there making stuff specifically for pets. Since 2013, the hemp nutrition products have been driven by years of research with thousands of animals. As a result of Canna-Pet’s proprietary formulas, dogs and cats get to efficiently manage anxiety, along with sore joint issues, cancer and other ailments resulting from old age. Today, Canna Pet is found in retail stores and vets’ offices around the world.
The product is derived from natural cannabis and uses the popular CO2 extraction method. Everything is free of animal parts, preservatives, dairy, wheat and sugar. According to the Canna-Pet website, they are the only company on the market to make pet merchandise with 25 different and terpenes. What sets Canna-Pet apart from every other name on this list is that its hemp derived goods are created to use with your pet medications and supplements.
An 8 ounce box of Canna-Biscuits for Dogs: Advanced MaxCBD formula costs about $39. Featuring a Maple Bacon flavor, there are about 40 biscuits in each box. Customer feedback seems to appreciate the big discounts that Canna Pet gives to both shelters and charity organizations. They are involved in research studies for various veterinary universities. Consumers also appreciate the 30 day money back guarantee.
I always like reading customer reviews on business sites and posting photos of dogs and cats gives them authenticity. As far as negatives, I don’t like the fact that Canna Pet doesn’t share their test results on their products or on their business website. It looks like they have something to hide. The CannaPet site says its covered by a number of different pet insurance providers. Maybe it’s just me, but I think of pharmaceuticals, not organic treatments, when dealing with insurance providers. No thanks.
8 Fur Goodness Sake Organic CBD Hemp Gold by OmegaPet
Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Fur Goodness Sake is a family business that strives to keep dogs and cats content and healthy by developing the best dietary supplements available. Labeling their product as “Calm in a bottle,” the oil is made with pure hemp seed extract.
Aiming to make anxious pets calm and cool, Hemp-Gold is third party tested, non GMO and grown in the United States with Co2 extraction. One big difference between HempGold and its competition is the fact that it should be administered to a pet on an empty stomach. Then you still shouldn’t feed the animal for at least another 60 minutes.
1 ounce of 300 mg Hemp Gold in a 30 ml bottle sells on Amazon for about $25, and a 500 mg bottle is roughly $35. Feedback often complains about the products’ high prices. The biggest issue that buyers have with Hemp Gold is made with a thick fatty substance. Even if they’re advised to apply the CBD every day, users find the instructions unclear on how much CBD oil to use at a time. Most people have to depend on trial and error to find their ideal dosages.
I also came across a few negative reviews. For starters, there is a very low amount of CBD in Hemp Gold. Also, most folks don’t follow directions and give the hemp oil to their pets with food. Not only does this cause Hemp Gold to have zero effects on cats and dogs, it also makes other animals sick. There are reports of diarrhea and even aggressiveness. Yikes!
On the bright side, HempGold comes with a money back guarantee. Users also claim that regular use improves effectiveness for reducing separation anxiety and seizures. The company even donates 10 percent of their profits to pet shelters, charities and other not for profit organizations.
9 CBDfx CBD for Pets
CBDfx says their pet CBD oil helps dogs and cats enjoy the same calming benefits as humans. Operating in Southern California since 2015, CBDfx is undoubtably one of the most popular names in the domestic industry. Making it a point to sell nothing but naturally grown hemp products on a Kentucky farm, CBDfx now sells everything from gummies and vape juice to CBD pens, topicals, oil tinctures and various other products, including CBD for cats and dogs.
A buyer can choose from three different strengths of CBD oil for pets, 150 mg, 300 mg and a whopping 600 mg for the big dogs. A buyer can choose how to administer the CBD to his or her pup or kitty. Some drop the CBD oil right into the animal’s mouth, and others prefer to place a little on top of a meal or treats. There is no right or wrong way to give CBD to your dog or cat. Whatever you decide, you can purchase the right sized bottle to go with your fur baby.
All of the CBD in the treats for cats and dogs is extracted with care using supercritical CO2 extraction. Besides cannabinoids, the CBD oil for dogs and cats is plentiful in terpenes, amino acids and fatty acids. There are zero toxic elements, or any nasty chemicals used. Rather, every ingredient in the pet CBD oil is completely safe and natural. It has also been tested. In fact, a consumer can read about the products in reports issued by a third party laboratory.
Prices are $29.99 for 30 ml of 150 mg of CBD oil for small dogs and cats, $44.99 for a 30 ml bottle of 300 mg for medium breeds, and $69.99 for 600 mg of 30 ml of CBD designed for large pets. Buyers can experiment here and there before choosing the ideal portion of CBD to give their four-legged family members.
10 Highland Pharms PAWS+ CBD for Pets
Highland Pharms PAWS+ CBD for dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets and horses relies on organic ingredients mixed with its own hemp extract. Despite the “Pharm” in the company’s name, Highland makes it a point to use zero pharmaceuticals in their high grade CBD products. Since a cancer patient named Luke Johnston opened it in Texas in 2015, Highland Pharms has made Olympia, Washington its headquarters.
Using organic hemp that comes from a farm in Colorado, Highland Pharms CBD for pets claims to be produced in the best natural conditions possible. What supposedly sets Highland Pharms apart from their competition is their full spectrum hemp extract that has all the same cannabinoids and phytonutrients as hemp plants.
The Highland Pharms website claims that ALL of their products for sale can be used for all pets, ranging from dogs and cats to horses and ostriches. I don’t know about you, but I just don’t see myself, or even my Labrador retriever taking the same hemp extract as the Black Stallion or Seabiscuit.
Highland Pharms PAWS+ CBD oil for pets is available in two sizes. The 25 ml bottle of 100 mg runs $24.95. The same size with 250 mg costs $39.95. There is also a total of 60 small cheddar flavored pet treats in a 5 mg of CBD for animals under 25 pounds for $59.95 and a 30 count of large pet treats with 15 mg of CBD for larger animals. The ingredients include dried cheddar cheese, yellow peas, potatoes and cranberries.
Besides the confusing pharmaceutical-like name, what turned me off the most about Highland Pharms is its business website. The pages are anything but user-friendly. Also, I am certain that tinctures are not the easiest way to give CBD to a pet. Why not mix it into an edible and make it fun to give the little munchkin a delightful bite?
Want to know more about CBD treats for cats and dogs? Look no further…
IS IT SAFE TO GIVE CBD TO A PET?
Yes, CBD treats are safe for both dogs and cats. Just look for CBD merchandise with less than .3% of tetrahydrocannabidol, a.k.a. THC. That way, you never have to worry about your little munchkin getting high and experiencing any unwanted psychoactive effects or even the munchies. While you can always read books and trustworthy websites for advice, you should always talk to a vet about what CBD products and dosages to use.
WHAT CBD PRODUCTS SHOULD I GIVE TO A DOG OR CAT?
When shopping for the best CBD oil for pets available, be sure to look for natural CBD treats. It is also important that all the goodies are made in the U.S. with no additives or chemicals, such as pesticides. It is also important to administer the right dose to your cat or dog. While some boxes and blogs give directions, it is best to experiment a little until you find the right dosage for your furry little buddy.
HOW LONG DOES CBD STAY IN A DOG OR CAT’S SYSTEM?
Once you give your beloved pet a CBD treat, it will start to kick in within 10 to 30 minutes. A person can then expect CBD and its positive effects on dogs and cats to last for approximately 6 hours at a time. Regardless, the CBD will stay in your pet’s body for several days. Generally speaking, you should give your pet 1 to 2 mg of CBD on a daily basis. It depends if you are dealing with a 10 pound kitty or a 120 pound Labrador retriever. With a bit of trial and error, you’ll have no trouble figuring out how much CBD oil to use on little Athena and hefty Precious.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO SEARCH FOR WHEN BUYING CBD OIL FOR PETS?
When looking to buy CBD oil for cats and dogs, it is crucial to know where it was made. A consumer can only trust merchandise created in the United States.

WHAT EFFECTS WILL CBD HAVE ON MY PET?
CBD products for sale have a reputation for helping dogs and cats to relax, whether the animal is scared of a thunderstorm or going through separation anxiety. When you need to get your four-legged monster to chill out, ask your veterinarian about CBD treats to manage stress in your pet.
ARE THERE CANNABINOID RECEPTORS IN DOGS AND CATS?
The brains of cats and dogs have cannabinoid receptors. As a matter of fact, the furry animals possess more cannabinoid receptors than we do. In other words, legal CBD products are often more useful to our pets’ physical, emotional and mental states than they are for men and women.
IS IT OKAY TO GIVE MY CBD OIL TO A DOG OR CAT?
While CBD can have wonderful effects on pets, you should not give any products made for humans to a dog or a cat. Most of the CBD goods for humans are made with much higher concentration of cannabidiol. That’s means you could end up giving your four-legged family member a bit too much CBD. It’s okay, nothing bad will happen. In fact, it is not possible to overdose on CBD. It is just a shame to waste such a valuable product.
HOW ARE CBD TREATS FOR DOGS AND CATS PRODUCED?
The best CBD products available, including CBD for pets, is created with natural hemp, as opposed to marijuana. As a result, the merchandise contains less than .3% THC, which is nearly enough to give an animal the euphoric high associated with mary jane. Meanwhile, all the hemp should be grown organically on domestic farms and thoroughly tested to ensure safety and effectiveness.
IS IT AGAINST THE LAW TO GIVE CBD TO A DOG OR CAT?
No, it is now completely legal to buy and administer CBD products for pets in all 50 states, thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill. You just have to make sure that the CBD goods are derived from the hemp plant, as opposed to marijuana. If not, the pet snacks may have more than .3% THC. Not only is that illegal in many states, but the CBD treats may make an animal high. As long as your CBD items stem from domestic hemp, you and your pets have nothing to fear.
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE BEST CBD FOR PETS?
As a consumer and a caring pet owner, it is up to you to get nothing but the best for your dogs and cats. Fortunately, getting the top CBD treats for your furry little guys and gals couldn’t be any easier. There is a seemingly endless supply of information and products on the internet. That’s why it’s always smart to speak to a veterinarian to confirm that you are getting a high quality CBD oil for a good price. While you certainly don’t want to purchase the cheapest supplies on the market, there is no need to spend an arm and a leg to get exactly what you want and need.
HOW DOES CBD KEEP CATS AND DOGS CALM?
CBD is often extremely effective when it comes to keeping a pet calm and cool. Maybe it is during a terrible storm or perhaps while there are strangers walking around the house. Whatever the case may be, the right CBD treats can help an animal relax by binding to its serotonin receptors. Daily stressors won’t magically disappear, but the right CBD products are known to help dogs and cats relax.
DO CBD TREATS FOR DOGS AND CATS HAVE TO BE LABRATORY TESTED?
Yes, it is crucial that you only buy CBD pet treats that have undergone testing at a third party lab. Look for a laboratory’s name on the packaging, along with the ingredients. You should also make sure that you only purchase CBD merchandise that stems from hemp and are made in the United States. Otherwise, you have no idea what you are putting into your system. Your overall safety can come into question. Thankfully, it couldn’t be easier for you the consumer to do a little homework online to find the best CBD products for cats and dogs.
HOW SHOULD I STORE CBD SNACKS FOR PETS?

By keeping everything in a controlled environment, the CBD goodies for your puppies and kitties will have much longer shelf lives. While a refrigerator can help the best CBD for dogs and cats last for roughly 6 weeks at a time, a freezer can keep everything potent, as well as tasty for about 6 months.
IS ALL CBD FOR PETS MERCHANDISE THE SAME?
No, the world of CBD retail is full of various products for dogs, cats, horses and other animals. While there are plenty of recognizable CBD brands out there that are respectable, there are even more CBD vendors that simply cannot be trusted. It is up to you, the buyer, to find a reliable CBD for pets by doing a little homework. Make sure everything has the ingredients listed and was manufactured in the United States. Otherwise, your safety could come into question. It also vital that your CBD goods stem from hemp, as opposed to THC-rich marijuana. Don’t be afraid to test different CBD items. What may work wonders on your neighbor’s cat may have zero effect on your dog, and vice versa.

Advocacy and annual health checks are vital.
Let’s begin this post with a boring but highly relevant title! This leads on to what is usually a fairly rambling post, but reaching the (title) point towards the end. 
My main focus of this post is the unbelievably weird and gentle and kind man that is my baby brother. 
Tumblr media
There we are, being adorable. 
Charlie is 21. He works in Asda full time and has done for a couple of years now (if he reads this, I’m sure I will be corrected to exactly how many months), he’s the tallest of the family at nearly a foot taller than me. He is obsessed with musicals, doctor who, the stock market comparisons for different food stores, blue-link wikipedia binges, and of course - experiences in retail. He also loves hugs. And dogs! 
Also, for those who don’t know him (skip if you do), he has autism and learning disabilities. He’s also had hypotonia (low muscle tone) since he was a baby, so his posture continues to be poor and he wears splints on his legs and super-cool (and MASSIVE) pedro boots to support his weak muscles. He has (very well managed, currently) issues with obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety and (the main focus of this post), he was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
So, let’s talk about this last point because it leads onto THE point. 
Ulcerative colitis is one of the inflammatory bowel diseases where your body has a reaction to normal bacteria, and believes it is foreign and starts fighting it, an autoimmune condition, causes inflammation and ulcers along the rectum/colon and upwards. It is life-long, and can go through long periods of not affecting daily life until a big flare up will (unless you’re Charlie), put people with UC in agony, spending most of their days on the toilet, often anaemic due to bleeding inside the colon, and sometimes results in hospital admissions for anaemia and dehydration - but for people diagnosed with UC results in a huge increase of medications during a flare up to get on top of it, limited social life or work during that period until there is a handle on it again. 
Now, for Charlie’s and your sake I won’t go into the details of his bowels - but I will tell you that symptoms for this had began probably as far back as last May. Charlie had been excreting blood ever since, and spent a good portion of his day in the toilet. To begin with, it wasn’t that awful or that obvious - and we, his family, did not know. Fast forward to December 2018, and we are all sufficiently concerned about it. Mum had taken him to the GP, only to be fobbed off that it was another issue of constipation and ‘probably’ haemorrhoids (obviously, they did not check), just take extra laxatives. Charlie was spending a huge amount of his work time in the toilet by this stage, and his employers are amazing with him but it’s not ideal, he has also had embarrassing episodes occasionally, and we - his family - were all too aware of the blood that continued leaving him due to the patterns around the toilet (TMI?). So, when my sister came home after christmas we started a bowel chart for him - and the truth was outed, many times he was visiting the toilet, it was just blood and nothing else. We also got a true picture of how many times a day. Then, I took him back to the GP, a summary of the bowel charts in hand and decided on not leaving until further testing had been ordered. It was, and then a couple of weeks later I attended the colonoscopy with him where - yes, it was confirmed, that our poor boy has ulcers extensively, and that was the cause of the bleeding (another concern was obviously the C-bomb), treatment was to be commenced immediately.  Now Charlie will be on life-long medication and management, but a lot of that will be done by us his family. He can take the tablets, sure, but he will not notice or be particularly bothered for another flare up so we have to keep on top of that and manage any other complications. Mum has taken him to follow up appointments at the IBD clinic, and thankfully the GP are now taking it seriously. 
But this leads me onto my point. 
Adults with learning disabilities qualify for annual health checks, and they are SO SO important. But the how and when and who with is important too. Charlie is a very able man, he’s really intelligent and he works - but without us (his family) being advocates for him, we still would not be at this stage. People with learning disabilities need their GPs to advocate for them, but this requires an understanding of the processing abilities of that individual and - we all know - GPs do not have time. Charlie comes across so able, so when healthcare professionals ask him questions about his bowels or other health aspects, he will answer the question - but that doesn’t mean he’s understanding and often the point is missed. Abby (my sister), when discussing the issues with him broke it down into words and phrases charlie understood, so we could get a proper picture of what was happening, and when I took Charlie to the doctors and for his colonoscopy I spent the time interpreting to Charlie what the doctors meant, and vice versa, and re-wording questions to Charlie so he could give the true answer. Sometimes that is all being an advocate involves. Without my mum, my sister and I doing this, we still probably wouldn’t have gotten any further. Charlie does not feel pain, part of his autism (and no, all people with autism are not the same and some feel pain acutely), but that meant he wasn’t giving standard answers or putting the urgency on that most people with this condition would - he was just getting on with daily life. 
This is a problem, not just for Charlie, but for people with a huge range of disabilities and learning disabilities - and it’s vital those who know them become advocates. An annual health check is great, but without an advocate for those who need it, huge things can still get missed - and a reminder that people with learning disabilities have a life-expectancy 20 years shorter than those without - and a big part of this comes down to their health needs not being met. If you are a carer, a family member, a friend, a nurse, a doctor, an OT, etc etc - any person close to those with learning disabilities, with a professional responsibility and without, just check that they have a good advocate, and talk to them and their advocate about concerns so that they are properly treated, promptly - and if they don’t have an advocate, it is our shared responsibility to ensure somebody steps up to the plate! 
Thanks for coming on this ramble with me, it’d probably be more concise... but I must get ready for work.

who dis?
#firstpost seems more daunting than it needs to be. Got myself all creative blocked up so here is a little diddy to get to know me better.. 
Tumblr media
Are you named after anyone?
I am actually named after Jessica Wakefield from Sweet Valley High
When was the last time you cried?
tbh, I tend to flip from emotionless to SUPER emotional like 0-60. Sometimes no response, sometimes (like this afternoon) I see a beautiful pond surrounded in nature, being natural and beautiful, water sparkling in the sunshine and the tears just roll.
Do you have kids? If no, how many do you want?
No kids atm, but a couple kiddos would be nice in the near future
If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?
..like.. what.. ? am I just like a duplicate of me? Like am I the same person I am now and would I be friends with someone JUST like me? Or am I someone else? Who am I? Like, I enjoy spending time on my own? 
Bottom line, I like me. 
Do you use sarcasm a lot?
100%
What’s the first thing you notice about people?
eyes, smile, lips, face bone structure
What is your eye color?
blue, sometimes they get a little grey
Scary movie or happy endings?
BOTH. 
Favorite smells?
Citrus, patchouli, cut grass, peaches and strawberries
Do you have any special talents?
Talents include: fantastic with horses, very good dog mom, I can cook frozen pizzas to perfection -- if I don’t get distracted, designing queer tees, i can roll a pretty decent j, solid problem solver, got some wit and can be funny.

I wish I was a lot better at expressing how I feel. 
Things that still bother me - my wife and I had a discussion about proposals and who would ask who. We landed on me asking her, which I did and am SO happy about, but the reason behind it being that I am so poor at expressing emotions that she was afraid it would affect her confidence in my response. 
For a first TMI moment of the blog, I have so much anxiety in my ability to express myself that I can’t even manage to make any “noise” during sex. Doesn’t even matter that I am my most comfortable self with her, STILL struggle. A work in progress for me I guess. 
Funniest moment throughout School?
There was a time when we were at a beach party when I was 17, the RCMP showed up to break it up and snag any and all intoxicated minors they could. The tide had recently come in, but where we were was a little dip in the side of the cliff so the path back to the road was water-covered. So someone peeks around the cliff to see the two Mounties wading through the water. This party crew are country-folk and are 100% ready for this situation with a wooden ladder that leads up the side of the cliff into a field close to where all the vehicles are parked. As party-goers are running through the field to cars, someone shouts, “PIT PARTY” and everyone heads towards the local Pit. Along the way someone with a truck steals a round bale from a field and uses it to create the BIGGEST bonfire I’ve ever seen.

I WON'T GO
"I was born in this house." I will never leave this house. I'm perfectly happy." - Oli Truss
Meet Oli Truss. She's an eccentric ex-headmistress in her nineties, who now lives isolated and housebound in her condemned country cottage, her companions being a cat, a dog, and a small Shetland pony named "Baby". The cottage has rats, the floor is littered with animal droppings, cobwebs decorate the windows, and maggots squirm in leftover food in the kitchen; but Oli won't hear of leaving her home. Happy on her own, she gets up every morning around 7:15 for a biscuit, and a cup of tea - when she can find her cup, that is. As the water runs nonstop in the sink, Oli wonders why the empty water pot on the counter is not boiling, admitting that "I can't always think quickly like I used to". She accepts the bare minimum of help home care workers on the first floor, as the second floor is now off limits to everyone.
At what point is further intervention mandatory? Should she be allowed to live life her way?
Not easily forgotten, "I Won't Go" paints an intimate and representative protrait of countless older adults whose only "crimes" are growing old, and wanting to keep their independence - at all costs. Oli's story brings home the complex issues of self-neglect, competence and capacity, the innate desire for independence, and the right to live and die at home with dignity.

Why Are Dalmatians So Well Loved (In The Past)
My first encounter with the Dalmatian dog breed is back in 1996 when I watched the film 101 Dalmatians. The possibility of owning 101 Dalmatians is always a far fetched thought, but what truly strikes me is the grandeur of this majestic spotted dog that never fails to captivates my attention. From its poise to its status as a working dog, lets find out more about the Dalmatian Dog Breed.
Origins of the Dalmatians
The origins of the Dalmatian have always been contentious since they are having been spotted in parts of Europe several hundred years ago. However, it was given its official name of Dalmatian after the historical region of Dalmatia, Croatia, which is a narrow belt on the east coast of the Adriatic Sea. During the Victorian Era, they were brought into the United Kingdom, particularly England, as the English started to employ Dalmatians as working dogs. The Dalmatian officially entered into the AKC Stud book in 1888, earning its place amongst purebreds in the same list.
Why Dalmatians Are So special
The reasons why Dalmatians are so special are aplenty. From its temperament to its physical appearance, there is more than one reason why the Dalmatian is a much-treasured dog breed.
Dalmatian as working-class dogs
Dalmatians have been employed as working-class dogs since the Victorian Era. Indeed, they are constantly employed as carriage or coach dogs where they will comfortably trot aside the horses as if they were best friends. This helps to quicken the pace of the carriages as the Dalmatians can help to pave the path for the carriage. Their athletic build does help the dog to keep up with the horses too. Also, their physical appearance and strength is important in this sense as they are able to ward off potential bandits from the otherwise vulnerable carriages. The Dalmatian’s calming presence helps to keep the horses calm while pulling the carriages, and this help to keep the occupants safe.
Dalmatians are comfortable around horses
This is something that is perhaps unique to the Dalmatian. Put them beside horses, and you will see that the Dalmatian is neither intimidated by the horses nor aloof to them. Indeed, the Dalmatian will most probably approach the horse with glee, as if they are long lost relatives that share a common ancestry. And that is probably why Dalmatians can double up as coach dogs as they can run alongside the horses with ease. Indeed, even in the case of the racing fire engines where they are being pulled by horses, the Dalmatian can help to pave the path ahead for the horses as they pull the ancient racing fire engines, perhaps helping to expedite the entire fire fighting operation.
Indeed, they are so comfortable around horses such that Budweiser decided to keep Dalmatians to trot alongside the Clydesdale hitches as part of the entire entourage. The Dalmatian has since been the official mascot for the brewery since 1950!
Dalmatians are born spotless
This is perhaps shocking to most. Dalmatians are born without spots, and the spots only starts to appear after 4 weeks! Hence, if you are an owner to a litter of Dalmatian puppies, you should not be taken aback at the litter of spotless puppies and assume that they are albinos!
Dalmatians are used in sporting events.
Due to the Dalmatian’s high level of activeness as well as their high agility levels, they are commonly employed in shows or sporting events since they are more likely to perform better than other dog breeds.
Traits And Characteristics Of The Dalmatian
Dalmatians are known for being friendly to both humans and pets, and this can be seen from its high level of comfort when they are around horses, and this is not a norm as some dogs might feel edgy when around the horses. As a result of their friendliness, most children will feel comfortable around Dalmatians and vice versa. However, when it comes to strangers, the Dalmatian may observe before deciding if the stranger is a friend or otherwise an aggressor to the family. So for this case, if you are bringing your friend to your place for the first time, you will need to get the dog acquainted to the friend as it will help the Dalmatian to warm up to your guest.
As for the Dalmatian’s need for exercise, you have to understand that the Dalmatians were initially bred as working-class dogs, and they have been running alongside carriages since the 1880s. As such, you can safely assume that the Dalmatian does require a relatively high level of exercise, hence they are ideal for owners who are leading an active lifestyle. Indeed, Dalmatians love frequent runs or even hikes that allow them to have the freedom to run and burn off their energy. Indeed, if you do not exercise your Dalmatian enough, they may develop the tendency to be destructive at home, so you would want to bring them out for their regular walks or hikes.
Of course, before you allow the Dalmatian to run freely without a leash, or even before you bring them out for long hikes, you will need to conduct some basic training so that the dog listens to your command. This will help to keep the Dalmatian safe as there might be pitfalls along the journey that is blind to you too. Being able to control the Dalmatian lest they run across the road is a good skill to have too.
This brings us to the next trait that the Dalmatian has, which is its high level of intelligence. Dalmatians are known for its high intelligence level, which can be evident from their ability to run alongside horse carriages and their employment as fire dogs. This makes it easier for you to train the Dalmatian as they are more likely to understand and respond to your command as compared to other dogs. But having said that, the only caveat here is that Dalmatians can be stubborn, so you might need to vary your training methods of even engage the Dalmatian intellectually before the dog gets bored. In some cases, the Dalmatian might find your training methods to be feeble too.
Does Dalmatian Make Good Pets?
To be honest, whether or not Dalmatian make good pets really depends on your needs as well as your expectations. If you are expecting a good that is meant to be ferocious guard dogs, then Dalmatian will not be suitable. But if you are expecting to have a dog that is warm, friendly, sociable and active, then the Dalmatian will make an excellent pet in your household. Other factors to note is the presence of other dogs in your house or if you have children in the house, as all of these will affect your decision in the choice of a dog breed as a pet.
Are Dalmatians Good Around kids?
Absolutely! Dalmatians adores children and they are fiercely loyal to them too. When you couple it in with the dog’s high level of energy levels, you can expect the Dalmatian to be the best playmate that the children can have. But note that since the Dalmatian is probably much larger than the children itself, you might want to put in extra supervision to ensure that the dog is not accidentally hitting your child as well as to prevent your children from mishandling the dog. Once all of these are in place, it can be fun watching both the kid and the dog tire each other out.
Are Dalmatians Mean?
If you are thinking along the lines of the Dalmatian being mean towards humans or even dogs, then it is safe to say that they are only mildly mean towards strangers, so this is something that you can be assured of. Dalmatians are not overbearing, so they will not be mean towards other animals too, and that is perhaps the reason why they can be close to the horses.
Are Dalmatians Aggressive?
Dalmatians are not aggressive by nature. They are only mildly aggressive towards strangers, and that is part of their nature of being protective towards their family. But having said that, you should note that dogs are not born to be aggressive. Rather, their aggression is usually nurtured or inculcated from how it is being treated. For example, if the Dalmatian is subject to abuse and aggression when it was younger, then there is a higher tendency that it will be aggressive in nature as it has probably developed the natural instinct to protect itself. On the other hand, if the dog is brought up in a nurturing and positive environment, the odds of the Dalmatian being aggressive is close to zero. So always aim to show love, care, and concern to the Dalmatian and not to show aggression to them at all.
Are Dalmatians Born With Spots?
As mentioned earlier, Dalmatians are interestingly not born with spots. They are born spotless, and the spots only start to appear about 4 weeks after they are born.
Are Dalmatians Good To Be Left Alone In The House?
As Dalmatians are social dogs, we do not recommend you to leave it alone in the house for long periods of times as they can develop separation anxiety, and you would not want this to happen since it can cause the dog to be destructive at home.
Health Concerns Of The Dalmatian
Dalmatians are regarded as a healthy dog, but they are still susceptible to diseases or health conditions. It will be important for all owners, or prospective owners, to be aware of this as you wouldn’t want the shelters to be filled with owners who cannot keep up to the Dalmatian.
Deaf Dalmatians
Unfortunately, one of the most common conditions that most Dalmatians will encounter is deafness. That is a genetic problem that causes 8% of all Dalmatians to be born deaf, and 22% to 24% of Dalmatians could be born with hearing ability in just one ear only. Note that this is a genetic fault, hence the problem is universal to all variants of the Dalmatian. Typically, breeders will test the Dalmatian’s hearing before sending them to their new owners.
Hip Dysplasia
This is a heritable condition that causes pain and lameness to the dog. Specifically, this occurs when the femur doesn’t fit perfectly at the hip joint, and this imperfection causes friction when the dog most around, and this is painful for them. It is estimated that up to 5% of all Dalmatian will have this condition. Since this is a heritable condition, you should ask the breeder to show proof that the parent is free of this condition before you purchase the puppy from them.
Skin Allergies
This is perhaps another common problem that plagues most dogs, especially so for the case of Dalmatians. The Dalmatian can be allergic to either of the three broad allergic types, namely food-based allergies, inhalant allergies, or contact allergies. These allergies are be tested when the dog is young, but in most cases, the allergy test can be rather expensive. Most of the time, skin allergies are non-fatal, but it will still be good to know which are the food types, or even plant types, that the dog is allergic to.
Hyperuricemia
This is a condition that is not unique to the Dalmatian as can affect humans too. For some Dalmatians, their liver will be not able to break down uric acid in our blood, and this causes of build up in the blood serum. As a result, urinary tract stones are formed this causing gout. When these stones start to clog up the unitary tract system, it can be potentially fatal for the Dalmatian. To avoid having this problem, we will suggest that you bring your dog to the vet for checkups at least once every few months. Also, the problem can be further mitigated by providing adequate water to the dog as well as to provide food that is low in purines to them.

BEING ESME CULLEN’S MATE WOULD INCLUDE:
yestwlightfan said: What would it be like to be Esme,s mate?
A/N: Hope you enjoy what has been written up, sweetheart! Thank you for requesting! - Admin Wenzel 🌲💖
◾ Esme would cherish, almost coddle, you within each and every moment that she would have with you.
◾ It would be certain that she wouldn’t take you for granted, ensuring that you’re aware of the fact that she appreciates every second that she has with you left.
◾ It’d be inevitable to not have Esme reminding you of how much fondness and loves she feels just for you, simply due to the fact that you are everything to her. (And vice versa.)
◾ “I shall forever love you, (Y/N). You are the light of my life.” Esme breathed softly from her fare rose-colored lips, softhearted-ness lacing every syllable, enunciating her mesmerizing golden eyes in which gazed at you tenderly. 
◾ With being the mate of Esme, it would be a known fact that you both together would have a strong, supporting relationship. It would be basically impossible to tear up and get you both to turn against one another.
◾ Never even thinking or acting upon leaving one another. You’re both too in love with one another to ever think of such a thing.
◾ If Esme were to ever glimpse upon you whenever you would express, react, seem cheerful, appreciative, loving, ect. it would simply make her entire eternity: This would be particular if she were to be the reason behind it. (Vice versa)
◾ Because, to her, your happiness would bring her complete bliss, ensuring that it has brightened up her day and night. (Vice versa)
◾ “I swear, if you can get any more romantic, you’re going to make me blush.” You’d flutter out, nipping your lower lip.
◾ “There is that smile I fell in love with so long ago...” Esme would utter out in a soft-spoken tone with pure bliss and love wavered within each word, as her facial expression thus changed into complete delight and pleasure. It was as though her golden butterscotch eyes were gazing straight up into heaven. 
◾ Without a doubt, it would be a known fact that there would be an enormous amount of respect, trustworthiness, faithfulness and loyalty within this relationship; making these elements inseparable and unbreakable. 
◾ Esme expressing her utmost thankfulness and joyfulness towards the thought of having you as her mate, making all the fibers in her body and soul feel over the moon with complete bliss and happiness.
◾ No matter what you were, you would simply light up her whole eternity, her love blossoming all the more, if that were even possible.
◾ With that stated; It would be unthinkable for her to ever utter a thought or ever imagine of what it would be/feel like if she had never of found you. If this was so, to her it would feel as though her immortal life were to be forever frozen in time. This without a doubt would truly and utterly shatter her un-beating heart into a billion pieces, to which it would be eternally un-fixable. 
◾ If any person/person’s (or the Volturi) were to have the intention of inflicting any pain or harm, (etc) upon you, just known that Esme -as well as all the members in the Cullen Coven- would shield you straight away from them and would tell the ‘threat’ to back off and not to go near you. You are her mate and she -as well as every member in the Cullen Coven- would protect you at all costs, even if that meant giving up her life with the chance of sparing yours. (And obviously vice versa.)
◾ “My love, your safety is one of my most important priorities.” Esme would declare out with serene-ness cascading her tone whilst the rear of her pale fingers stroked your cheek attentively. “I could not bear the thought of losing you.” She’d add on while her golden ocher eyes locked with yours. “You are the love of my life, I will always protect you, no matter the cost.” 
◾ In truth; It would be a known fact that it would make no differences to Esme if her mate were to be the same species as her and her family -vampires- or if her mate were to be human (or any other creature). At the end of the day she would have the utmost respect, fondness and affection for her mate no matter what they were, looked like, and so on. As long as you are happy and healthy, that would matter the most to her. 
◾ Esme would for sure shower her mate with many compliments every chance she could get a hold of. To her you would be the most exquisite creature/being her eyes has glimpsed upon in her whole existence. -vise versa- 
◾ Honestly, you would be showering her with everything that you possibly could offer her.
◾ “You are the most enchanting and dazzling being my eyes have ever laid upon in my many years of living, my love.” Esme breathed out lovingly while her spectacular eyes peered into your (Y/E/C) eyes with affection shining within them.
◾ Eskimos kisses.  
◾ Lot’s of hand holding.
◾ Within this enamored relationship, it would be quite uncommon for their to be any tense confrontations, bickering or clashing. The pair of you would be respective towards one another’s boundaries, in which you would do your best not to cross the lines or limits set in place.
◾ Carrying on from that point, if it was so that Esme and yourself were to get into an argument, then be assured that it would certainly not last long. Yet afterwards, it would be a common occurence that you both would head off somewhere private to apologize for each other’s behaviour, words spoken, and so on; to which you would both make up.
With that said; If Esme and you were to have a disagreement or confrontation, it would only last awhile. But soon after the both of you would go somewhere private to apologizes for your behaviour and soon make up.
◾ Although the pair of you may not argue often, it is not to say that it’s all puppy dogs, unicorns and rainbows. There will be times of friction but those come rather rarely.
◾ It would be common for Esme to speak about her human life, prior to Carlisle having turned her; well, that of what she can recall and if you were to ask her questions about it.
◾ But not only that; she would share what different time periods were like through her eyes, ears and everything, but also what it was like for all the other’s in the coven.
◾ Esme would also tell you tales of what it was like for her when she was a new born and before she met you, etc.
◾ If you were struggling or suffering from anxiety, depression or whatever it was, Esme would do her absolute best with lifting up your spirits and brightening up your life to help you in anyway that she truly could. Surely she would stay by your side, ensuring that your every need is fulfilled.
◾ Comfort, advice, an ear to listen to, tending to anything, whatever it may be, Esme would take care of it. She wouldn’t even dare to think twice over it.
◾ Since in her human life she suffered bouts of intense feelings (maybe even in her vampire life too) she would try her best to relate to you, understanding where you come from and helping cheer you up and support you in anyway that she possibly could.
◾ “For I know the hardships of having felt, thought and having been consumed within these emotions, my love... ” Esme hushed out soft-spoken-ly with comfort wavering within her tone. Tightening her arms around you, she pulled your form closer into her loving and soothing embrace, soon giving the crown of your head a soft peck with her cold lips. “For you must remember to be the strong person that always lies within you. You are stronger than you think, my love, for I believe that and have seen it with my own eyes.” Your mate added on quietly. “You will get through this and see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will always be here for you, (Y/N). You will always have me, my comfort, my support... my everything.”
◾ If you were to have any talents or abilities, and so on, (as a human, vampire, etc.) Esme would be stunned, in much of a positive fashion, when you show her or tell her of it. By doing so, your mate becomes speechless, and if she could shed tears of happiness, she truly would.
◾ This would leave her incredibly intrigued with your gifts, talents, abilities and very self.
◾ “My dear one, you truly are special, the most fascinating being my eyes have ever laid upon. You are so unique, my love...” Esme would vocalize out with a large pearly white smile while watching you. “You truly are one of a kind and I would not want you any different.” 
◾ You both surprising each other with lovely homemade gifts or ones that were purchased within stores. Either way you both would still love it and would cherish it no matter what and would thank one another with a smile. 
◾ Taking lovely long walks within the forest that surrounds the Cullens house. 
◾ All the members in the Cullen Coven supporting this relationship and being overjoyed for Esme -and you- for finally finding each other. Which would end up with everyone accepting you within the Cullen family. (You both totally being everyone’s OTP no matter what...especially for Alice. She would be your guys number one shipper...like she would ship the shit out of the you two).
◾ Esme and you taking turns to plan sweet and thoughtful dates to go on and enjoying them dearly. (Alice would help you or Esme plan these dates from time to time. Only if you needed help or asked her. But let’s face it, the cute pixie will do anything to get involved.). 
◾ “This is completely breath-taking Esme...” You would utter out quietly with an expression of complete awe, whilst feeling your breath being taken away. “This...is...so...magnificent...”  
◾ “Thank you for the kind comment, my love, but it is not as breathtaking as you ...” Esme replied back with passion coursing through her body and soul as a large pearly white smile spread across her lips. 
◾ Tender kisses. 
◾ Passionate kisses. 
◾ Nose kisses. 
◾ Hugs/Cuddles. 
◾ Whenever Esme would get the chance to have some private time or alone time away from her family, she would write lovely, meaningful and thoughtful love letters about and to you. Which would be filled with the fondness she has for you, but also of how much happier she is with having you in her life.  
◾ With that declared, once finishing the love letter, Esme would send or give this love letter, filled with thoughtful words, to you; as a reminder for you to know how much love that she will forever have for.  
◾ Passionate sex. 
◾ Gentle sex. 
◾ Whispering sweet nothings to each other.
◾ Mild PDA.
◾ Overall your relationship and having each other as mates would be filled with an enormous amount of love and loyalty, (etc). Your bond with each other would grow and turn inseparable to the point that no person or no situation could come between you two. Your are hers and she is ours, forever.
